    How to clean pop tabs for resale

    Well, I recently found out people buy pop tabs and I needed to clean then to attract interest. This is how I did it.
    1. I plugged one spot of my sink with a drain plug.
    2. Get a strainer
    3. Fill sink with water and soap
    4. Put pop tabs in strainer and stir tabs with your hand. Shake the bowl, unsubmerge then resubmerge. Do this for maybe 5 minutes.
    *Note* If your pop tabs have soda stuck to them soak them in the strainer for at most 5 minutes then stir.
    5. Rinse off suds
    6. Put in a dry place and let them dry- I'm gonna let mine sit overnight
    TIP- separate colored tabs and rectangular tabs (From Red Bull cans- I think) These are worth more $
    If you don't want to do this inside fill a bucket or tote of water and do the same procedure.
